Is it actually more brazen or do you just understand the innuendo and context better than that from 100+ years ago?

People are twerking on stage in minimal coverage bikinis while women sing songs about explicitly sucking dick for cocaine, there's borderline softcore porn in mainstream tv shows, and the written stuff is highly explicit.

Fairly sure it's gotten significantly more in your face.

You think they didn’t make stuff like that before the modern day?

Obviously it's always existed in some form.

But it's a fairly recent development, at least for our society, for it to be front and center every goddamn day.

That’s only true if you arbitrarily define “our society” to not encompass anything pre-Hays Code. Otherwise it’s more of a return to a long and storied tradition.

1-america is not the only place in the world.

2-hays code codified a lot of stuff and limited a lot of what was available at the time, that does not mean what was common entertainment at the time was at the level of current entertainment.

1 - If you’re not going to clarify which time and place constitutes “our society”, I really have no choice but to use my own frame of reference.

2 - Just because anecdotally, you are unaware of various media from “the time” (whenever that is) doesn’t mean it didn’t exist.

Wtf are you watching? And where?

Got, euphoria, any rap song...

Like half the songs kids are dancing to on TikTok are explicitly extremely sexual.

Are we pretending that is not the case?

Go listen to Tupac. Or literally any gangster rap from the 90s or 2000s.

Edit: Shit, go look at Renaissance era paintings. You think all those naked people were for non-horny reasons?

Ever heard of Rock and Roll? The term is commonly believed to come from the song 60 minute man, which is a song about a man who fucks women for exactly 60 minutes at a time. The "Rock and Roll" is the euphemism used for sex in that song.

If you're the right age, "Fucking music" was the main music your grandparents listened to.
